Mayor Rexroad needs the support of all of us on the sales tax and his plan for an urban limit line for the city.

None of us like taxes, but we know, some, such as bonds, carry hidden costs. For example, our new high school that cost $40 million to build, and another $80 million in interest.

What about the mayor”s idea of an urban limit line? I believe it”s the best solution for our city. First, it would prevent an ugly sprawl of businesses and homes. Want to see the results? Take a drive to Vacaville, a once beautiful Spanish-American styled town, that is now embedded in an ugly sprawl that runs in all directions. It is not an overstatement to say, the results are a visual assault on one”s senses.

There is another good reason to support the mayor. Councilman Pimentel states that the urban limit line would cause present homes to “skyrocket” in value. The councilman seems to believe this to be a bad result.

I believe that most all current homeowners would disagree with the councilman. After all, we need an increase in home values, as we will have millions of dollars of future school bond debt to pay.
